Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join “The 1st International Online Conference on Sensor and Actuator Networks”, which will be hosted online from 9 to 10 July 2026.
This conference will present the latest studies in sensor and actuator network-related research in the fields of healthcare, smart agriculture, industry, mobile systems, intelligent transportation, manufacturing, smart cities, and engineering. The goal is to highlight the status, challenges, opportunities, and future trends in sensor and actuator network engineering. CSAN 2026 will present the state-of-the-art sensor and actuator networks related to the following topics:
- S1. Industry 4.0 and embedded wireless sensor/actuator systems;
- S2. Blockchain technologies and Internet-of-Things-based WSAN;
- S3. WSAN and next-generation networks (5G, 6G, etc.);
- S4. Applications of WSAN in agriculture, vehicles, wearable sensors, smart cities, manufacturing, mobile systems, and health and medical care;
- S5. Big Data, Computing, and Artificial Intelligence.
https://sciforum.net/event/CSAN2026
CSAN 2026 will enable you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with the vibrant global community of scientists and engineers in the field.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
